What do critical infrastructure operators need to consider for AI governance?

Companies in critical infrastructure sectors (energy, healthcare, finance, transport, water) are subject to a triple regulation: AI Act, GDPR, and NIS2 apply simultaneously. This means higher documentation requirements, stricter demands on availability and integrity, and shorter reporting deadlines for security incidents.

For AI systems in critical infrastructure environments, additional requirements apply for resilience and traceability. Models used in critical processes need redundant monitoring systems and documented fallback mechanisms. Governance must map all three regulatory frameworks in an integrated structure.
